Verš 16:47

anebo je neuchvátí ve stavu strachu hrozného? Pán váš však věru shovívavý je a slitovný.

Tafsir al-Jalalayn

Or that He will not seize them amid [growing] fear?, [amid] a gradual diminishing [of their numbers] little by little, until all are destroyed (‘alā takhawwufin is a circumstantial qualifier referring to the subject of the verb [God] or the object). Indeed then your Lord is Gentle, Merciful, insofar as He does not hasten for them their punishment.
